Captain's Handbook

Being a captain is a special opportunity. Captains have the power to make or break their teammates' year. It is not just about winning games; it is about making a difference.

This book was created by the IHSAA Student Advisory Committee as a vehicle to encourage captains throughout Indiana to be positive role models within their community. Student-athletes from across the state offered their input on this document during the IHSAA Student Leadership Conference. This handbook was written by students and for students, in an effort to effectively communicate ideas between peers.

We are providing this to help student-athletes understand how to be positive leaders. We encourage you to review the Captain's Handbook and adapt the ideas to fit the needs of your school, coaches, and student-athletes.
